Seems like shenanigans to me.
We don't have the variance so I'm not sure how you would calculate it, but you're the one who first stated it would be easy to calculate, I called you one it first, so no you do it.
To the same degree you were trying to say that the lower homicide rate (but increased assault rate) was a result of the gun laws sure, something about having your cake...
Quote: I would not mind living in a society where violent crime resulted in injury instead of death. Especially if we could curb the mass shootings.
Are you going to tell me what the increase in sexual assault and the increase in assaults has to do with the gun laws in Australia?
0 mass shootings since 1996.
An increase in sexual assault rates since 2000
An increase in assault rates since 1996.
Please tell me how these are logically and causally connected to the changing gun laws.

And show me where I said Australia had not seen an increase. (I still said global, as in global average)
